elixstowe Rugby Club is a fine example of a well-run, community rugby
club that plays a vital role in their local community. They are based at the
Coronation Sports Ground on Mill Lane in Suffolk and their first team
currently competes in the Eastern Counties Greene King League Division Two

together a solid league campaign as they
compiled a record of eight wins and
eight defeats from their sixteen matches.
This saw them finish in a safe mid-table
position with 35 points on the board.
This should provide the club with
a solid platform from which to build
as they look ahead to their 2018/19
campaign. As long as they are able to

teams look to provide young players
from the local area with an opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable
environment whilst helping them to
reach their full potential.
It is important for any club looking
to be successful over a sustained period
of time to be able to produce their
own talent, particularly in the current
financial climate and this is an area they
appear to have covered.
Coaches currently involved with this
part of the club are confident that they’ve
